Denies Charges
Labor Leader Gets Indictment
WASHINGTON  (UPI)—W. A. "Tony" Boyle, president of the United Mine Workers (UMW) who has angered plundered his union's treason, was indicted Tuesday on charges of embezzlement and making illegal political contributions of $49,250 from union funds.
The indictment was returned by a special federal grand jury impaneled last November for 18 months to investigate Justice Department corruption in the 190-member mining community.
Also indicated on the same charges were UMW Secretary-Treasurer John Owens and James Knetz, director of Labor's Non-partisan League (LNPL), the union's political arm. Named as co-conspirators but not defendants were Suzanne Richards, Boyle's executive assistant, and Robert Howe, former LNPL director.
UMW headquarters issued a statement alleging all allegations in the indictment.
Vablonski, his wife and daughter were murdered three weeks after the disputed election, which the Justice Department has ordered federal court, in a separate suit, to invalidate.
The indictment charged similar contributions to Republican dinners and at least one GOP candidate, Rep. John P. Saylor, R-Iowa, won re-election over challenger Joseph (Joseph) McCormick over challenger Joseph (Joseph) McCormick.
The indictment returned Tuesday charged that between 1966 and 1989, Boyle, Owens and Kmetz used the league as a cover to make illegal political contributions from the union treasury. Federal law permits unions to establish nonpartisan organizations to lobby and make political donations, but not to use union funds directly for those purposes.

Regents Give No Comment' On Drug Raid
TOPEKA (UPI) - Attorney General Vern Miller's massive drug raids on Lawrence, including some residence halls and apartments housing University of Kansas students, drew nictitious from members of the Board of Regents paged Tuesday.
Dr. James Basham of Fort Scott, chairman of the revents, declined comment.
Did Paul Wunsch of Kingman and Jess Stewart of Waramego. Wunsch did say, however, that I don't want to interfere with the game games in taking care of his duties as he sees them.
Miller's move apparently was approved by William F. Duenenbarger of Concordia.
"I am in agreement with the attorney general that the laws should be enforced equally whether you are rich or poor, a college student or an indigent hippie." The attorney said. "I have no criticism of the way the raters are handling the students at our schools realize that illegal drugs has no place on our campuses. Those convicted will get no sympathy from me."
Elmer Jackson of Kansas City, Kan., said the raids had "nothing to do with the University as such," Jackson said that he as a student complained with the law in getting search warrants.
"I don't see at this point where it's a matter that involves University policy or administration," Jackson said. "Naturally, I'm concerned I would be sure every citizen is, with the drug problem."
Regents Henry Babb of Topeka and Robert Healman of Goodland were out of town and regents Carl Courter of Wichita and Thomas Griffith of Manhattan could not be reached.

KU Action on Drug Raids Doubtful
By GAYLE TRIGG
Kansan Staff Writer
Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr, said Tuesday that it was improbable that the university would take disciplinary action against an arrested in Friday morning drug charges.
Claimsers said the question of disciplinary action being taken against students was under investigation. He said that if it was found that the students had violated regulations of the University which were in the civil court, disputes were being tried for in the civil court, disputes are to be the proper course. Otherwise he said, any double action would be "double jeopardy."
He mentioned the Gardenhure hearings as a case in point. The University Judiciary land Gardenhure guilty of violating a university regulation against carrying weapons on campus. This charge is different from the criminal court charge of attempted homicide.
"City police, the county sheriff's office and the FBI have for years been conducting their business with reference to illegal activities whether on or off the campus," he said. "The University itself has no investigative ability at all. We have a request for two investigative
The Chancellor made it clear that there was no question about the legality of the attorney general's investigation being carried out on campus.
officers before the legislature now."
The procedure in the residence halls has been for the resident assistants to report drugs in the rooms. This information is then relayed to an investigative agency which follows up the report and seeks a warrant for arrest. This procedure was being carried out one arrest at a time. Generally speaking, Calmers said, this had been effective.
The Chancellor explained that the customary procedure had always been for those outside organizations doing investigations to turn their findings over to the local law enforcement agency, the Lawrence Police. They in turn informed the director of the department that they were about to act on this information and consulted on the best way to proceed.
In the case of the Friday morning raids, the chancellor was not informed until 2 a.m., after the events had already begun, when the taxation, director of operations, phoned us.
Chalmers expressed concern over the presence of national media. Although Vern Miller said he did not inform the press, Cahiers noted that there was no explanation for their presence and that it "did seem a well巩立镇 event."
"In those who are actively involved in trying to gather all the various factions in this community together, this press coverage is more disconcerting than helpful." Chailmers
and. We'll make progress one heck of a lot faster without the excessive focus of the national examination. You can affect an event by your examination of it."
Clients also acknowledged the possibility that the raids having an adverse effect on the Meininger police-community relations program in Lawrence.
Candidate Disturbed By Sonnet
Sarah Scott, Prairie Village junior and student body vice presidential candidate said Tuesday that the "campaign sonnet" circulated on campus by supporters of Sonnet, her, for president contained serious attacks on the integrity of some of the other candidates.
Miss Scott is the running mate of Gretchen Miller, Wichita senator. Two of the lines of the sonnet read, "But if you hate all men—Then Gretchen your girl."
Peter George, the campaign manager for
the Democrat, said the sonnet had been intended as a job.
It was written by David Miller's running mate, Molly Latlin, George said, "for few feet."
George said that David Miller, "got very upset about it," and said Miller would "now stop."
"I wrote it at four in the morning and I was dead tired," Miss Laflin said.
"Gretchen Miller is seen not as an individual, but as a function of a media presentation of a feminist; a frustrated, hung-up, man-hating female." Miss Scott said.
They did not decide to run only women on their party ticket because they hated men, Miss Scott said but because one of their primary goals was to get women interested and involved with the shaping of the University.
She said the entire sonnet was an attempt to categorize the personalities and political beliefs of each candidate in a way that would promote David Miller's campaign, and the sonnet attempted to stereotype the candidates in a negative social position.
Miss Laffin said if the poem were taken seriously it would probably hurt her campaign rather than the campaigns of the other candidates.
"How could anyone take it seriously?" she said.
During any campaign, she said, "everyone accuses everyone else of muddling. But this gave us an opportunity to laugh at ourselves."
Defense Department Admits Spying on Millions in U.S.
WASHINGTON  (UP1) - The Defense Department said Tuesday it kept records on 25 million persons from the President on down in a vast domestic intelligence network which has snooped on one out of every eight Americans.
The Pentagon told Congress that such surveillance was necessary to cope with the possibility of civil violence requiring the presence of federal troops.
It assured the Senate Constitutional Judiciary subcommittee that steps were being taken to the computerized operation did not trespass. The judge acknowledged that the operation had already grown so big that it would be impossible to purge the files of erroneous or unauthorized data.

TOPEKA, Kan. (UPI) - The Kansas Senate Tuesday gave preliminary approval to a legislative pay raise already passed by the House.
Pay of the 165 legislators would be increased to $6,000 a year plus a $3 day exemption.
Senate Gives Initial Approval To Pay Raise
But authorities reported no clues as to who set off the explosion in an unmarked, out of the way rest room used mostly by senators, causing some $300,000 damage – but no injuries – to the Senate side of the Capitol at 12:30 a.m. Monday.
As speculation increased that it was an "inside job" by someone thoroughly familiar with the complex layout of the building, an Army bomb expert told a congressional inquiry that it was not certain what kind of bomb was used.
James W. Powell, chief of the Capitol police, said earlier that black powder had been ruled out as the explosive, apparently because no black powder residue was found. He left open the possibility that dynamite or some other nitroglycerine exploded was used.
"We really do not know," said Capt. Edwin Joyner of the 67th Ordnance Battalion at McFairNen. "But we do have a hypothesis. We believe it was a clock-related device. Very likely it could be been dynamite. Assuming it was it could have been 15 or 20 pounds."
Testifying before the Senate Public Works subcommittee, Joyner said: "The bomb could have been briefcase size. It would have been very easy for a man to walk into the building Sunday afternoon and place a briefcase and walk out."
Candidates Campaign at Ellsworth
By CAROL JACKSON
Kansan Staff Writer
Three candidates for student body president and their vice presidential running mates falked to residents of Elsworth Hall, tight about issues in their campaigns.
Lewis Wall, Rodland Park junior, and his running mate, George Pierson, Mission junior, talked about how they proposed to better relations between the University and the Board of Regents, KU alumni and the legislature.
Walil said he thought this could be done by asking those people to come to the University and discuss problems with the students. He said he didn't know if this could be done but he said he thought it was a step in the right direction.
Emmerson said for the past five years the university had requested an additional $1 million to improve its facilities.
Brad Snoot, Sterling Jr. and his vice president candidate, Steve Emmerson, Topika junior, said they thought more people should be added to the car games police force.
"The student body president should make yourself available to everyone on campus," he
The candidates were asked their views on the student activity fee.
Slapperster he thought it was more important to talk to students to hear what they wanted done than to "force issues down people's threats."
but the proposal had been eliminated every time by the Board of Regents.
Smood said the University could not force the legislature to do anything. He said if students would testify at hearings and talk to would legislators, this would help a great deal.
Tom Slaughter, Salina senior, and Gene Roberts, Ravena, Neb., graduate student, were asked why they were waging a low profile campaign.
Slaughter said he was intentionally wagina a low profile campaign. He said he and Hobbes had decided not to create a platform he had because these things only tended to get votes.
Wall said he thought the activity fee should not be eliminated because this would cause overcharging.
Because a majority of students attend athletic events, Wall said he thought the university was very well equipped.
Sklumbiter said he thought the students should make a decision on whether or not the athletic department should be appropriated more than $10,000.
If the activity fee were eliminated, "small organizations which add a lot to the campus
Smooed said the Board of Regents required each student to pay an activity fee and be said he thought students should control how this money would be distributed.
Because it is the students' money, they should have a say in the matter, he said.
The candidates were asked if they had any solutions to the problem of student, apathy. Wall said the solution was to get students interested in student government.
"Students aren't apathetic," Shaughter said, "but they are being told the Senate provisional audit."
Emmerson he thought students expected the elected representatives to do everything, and the task forces would enable students to be better in getting the things they wanted done, they did.
